# Geometric Symmetry Seating Knostantin Achkov's Chair Electron Redefines Traditional Seat Designs By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-07-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seat-design References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/vote/chair-electron-by-konstantin-achkov/) & [lock-furniture](http://lock-furniture.com) The Chair Electron by Konstantin Achkov is made from 18mm beech plywood that is cut using a CNC router. This eye-catching furniture piece boasts a geometric and x-shaped base and resembles a 3D puzzle made from wood. "Each part of the chair is assembled like a traditional 3D puzzle and without the use of any glue or screws." The chair's plywood joints feature a click pin construction while its textile-crafted seat is both waterproof and uv-protected. Knostantin Achkov's Chair Electron is flat-packed and easy to construct. The furniture piece is the designer's first attempt at a puzzle-inspired design. Its symmetrical concept marries aesthetics with function and features a form that is both stable and visually striking. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Geometric Symmetry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new designs that utilize geometric symmetry to create aesthetically appealing and functional furniture pieces. - **3D Puzzle-inspired Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop furniture designs that mimic the concept of assembling 3D puzzles, offering a unique and interactive user experience. - **Flat-packed Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create furniture pieces that are easy to construct and can be conveniently shipped in flat-packed form, reducing logistics costs and carbon footprint. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate advanced CNC router technology to produce intricate and precise wooden furniture pieces with unique and visually striking designs. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate puzzle-inspired furniture designs into interior spaces, offering distinctive and captivating visual elements that enhance the overall aesthetic. - **Outdoor Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop waterproof and UV-protected seating solutions using innovative textile-crafting techniques, combining functionality with durability for outdoor environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Flatpacked Wooden Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedia-tonda.md) - [Ultra-Minimalist Folding Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notch-folding-chair.md) - [Circular Modernist Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerogravity-chair.md) - [Simple Assembly Dining Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yugan.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Scissor-Inspired Minimal Wooden Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kainchee-chair.md) - [Flatpack Single-Piece Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaning-chair-set.md) - [Minimal Stackable Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omega-chair.md) - [Flatpack Ultra-Modular Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-chair.md)
